Normally, I don’t offer tips for a game within a review but this may help a lot of people getting into Shin Megami Tensei for the first time. For one, the first trip to Naraku will likely be hard – basically the tutorial level for the game, I ended up dying 5 times. Remember that you can leave Naraku and heal as many times as you want. Also, don’t be afraid to lower the difficulty via the “Burroughs” Menu which becomes available after the 2nd time you die. The game becomes much more accessible when you do.

Recently, Atlus hosted a live stream on Twitch to show off the English build of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. Head past the break for the full recording containing 90 minutes of footage. The post 90 minutes of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse footage appeared first on Nintendo Everything.

The other key to any Megaten game is fusion. Fusing demons now is much easier because “Mido”, the fusion demon app, now offers recommendations based on your current party and has a rather robust search feature allowing you to filter out particular demons or even search for that one demon you really really want. It’s a great enhancement to the gameplay and allows for quick and easy demon fusing if you are not interested in going through long lists and just want the highest level demons you can get at that particular point in the game.

The best way I can describe Shin Megami Tensei 4 (SMT 4) is like a grown up version of Pokemon. But rather than trying to catch every demon and sticking with them throughout the game these demons come and go, get fused, and have to be changed to keep up. SMT 4 is more or less like every Megaten game. The emphasis here is on exploiting enemy weaknesses, fusing together demons to get stronger demons, and exploring dungeons. For newcomers to the Shin Megami series, don’t worry, the story isn’t exactly tied to previous games in the series – so you should be fine. In fact, I would argue that Shin Megami Tensei IV is a perfect place to start.

Deep Silver announced a while back that they would be publishing Atlus and SEGA RPGs in Europe, and this includes titles like Persona 5, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and 7th Dragon III Code: VFD. While fans living in Europe will get to play Persona 5 on the same day as those living in North America, those wanting to check out Apocalypse and 7th Dragon Code III will have to wait a little longer. You can check out the re-released announcement trailers for both games from Deep Silver down below.
